PDF File Name is Reverting to Default Name

    I have been trying for hours to resolve a particular conflict

    I can not change the name of the PDF even though the edits remain on PDF editor, every time I submit a form the PDF is titled as Submission number. This has happened before and by clearing the cache the problem went away, but only for a few minutes.

    Trying with several of my forms the same problem persists

    Only a few of my forms save as the title of what I have selected on PDF editor

    1. In the Form Builder, open the app selector panel in the upper-left corner.

    Hi Nazli

    I have done that several times but the edits weren't saving, it kept reverting back to submission ID rather than saving as the title that I wanted

    The issue has resolved itself however after several hours

    Thanks
